Meta Is Toying With the Idea of Smart Glasses That Record Everything, All the Time

TLDR · 1 week ago

Meta is testing prototype smart glasses that continuously photograph the wearer's surroundings without requiring manual activation or displaying an LED indicator. The glasses would capture photos every few seconds and use the data to train AI systems, with internal disagreement at Meta over whether to store full images or only metadata on its servers. The shift represents a significant escalation from Meta's current smart glasses, which require voice or button activation to record and display a lit indicator when active.
